Glastonbury and Rocky Hill

An aerial view of Connecticut River at Glastonbury and Rocky Hill during the Flood of 1955. Flood control measures taken after the Hurricane of 1938 helped save the Hartford area from the devastation that hit much of western Connecticut, but there was still widespread flooding and significant loss of crops and livestock.
